Imran Khan’s sister Noreen Niazi is hospitalised after deteriorating health while detained in Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat Jail, with reports citing high blood pressure and heart-related concerns. Her lawyer says she was shifted to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology (PIC) on doctors’ recommendation, and that family members were not informed or allowed to meet her. A government official and a senior adviser later tell the Senate that she is receiving treatment and is “fine” after medical tests.
The Lahore High Court is also involved: it directs Noreen’s counsel to file a separate plea seeking medical treatment and family meetings. The court hears a petition challenging the extension of preventive detention orders for Imran Khan’s sisters, which are made under the Punjab Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance (MPO). Arguments mentioned in court proceedings include claims that detention circumstances led to her hospitalisation and that previous orders were effectively renewed with updated dates.
Across outlets, the core facts—her move from jail to PIC, the stated medical reasons, and the parallel court and parliamentary scrutiny—are consistent. Where coverage differs is in emphasis: some foreground the legal steps and court instructions, while others foreground what officials say in the Senate about her condition and access to information.
